Pride then fly with my folly (postcard from Zarathustra)

  1. I just love these images Steve. You have been so productive over the past few months. It's an interesting passage from Nietzsche:

    More dangerous have I found it among men than among animals; in dangerous paths goes Zarathustra. Let my animals lead me”! When Zarathustra had said this, he remembered the words of the saint in the forest. Then he sighed and spoke thus to his heart: "Would that I were wiser! Would that I were wise from the very heart, like my serpent! But I am asking the impossible. Therefore do I ask my pride to go always with my wisdom! And if my wisdom should someday forsake me: - alas! it loves to fly away! - may my pride then fly with my folly”! Thus began Zarathustra's down-going.
